Nurse Corps Scholarship 2016-2017

Published

Greetings!

After binge reading the thread for 2015-2016, I decided it's time to start one for this year. I am a single mother opting to pursue a BSN after a post-quarter life crisis. Because I have multiple degrees, I have just about exhausted all of my financial aid options. I would like to hear from anyone applying for the scholarship. What's your story? What are your stats? Previous applicants and recipients I would like to hear your story too!

Starting at a private nursing school in May (with what little fin. aid I have left)

1 year AmeriCorps

1 year internship at group home for at-risk adolescents

5 years working with Dept. of Corrections (2.5 of which were counseling offenders)

EFC: 544

GPA: 3.9

Community service hours: 45

Location: GA

Are there any current nurses on this thread? I have to interview a nurse. I had asked a couple people I know weeks ago, and they all said yes, but I haven't heard from them.

It's due Friday and I'm getting close to the last minute. Any LPNs or RNs want to help a girl out?

I am curious to know how much of your schooling the scholarship will cover? Obviously, anything is super helpful, but curious nonetheless!

I am a current nurse, willing to do your interview.

This scholarship cover your tuition and other things. It is complicated and requires a lot of planning and patience.

It covers your entire tuition (if they approve you for all years of your program).

When are you guys supposed to hear back? I am thinking about applying for this scholarship the next round.

Everyone has been notified for this year. All notifications go out by 9/30. I would look through the thread, it will show you a lot about the timeline of the entire process. Good luck next year!

Hi! Does anyone know when the scholarship program pays the tuition for fall? Thanks!

Hey, They payed my tuition a week ago and I got the stipend as well

Hi All!

I am applying to the Nurse Corps when they reopen in 2017. I am stressing very hard about getting money for school. I am considered a dependent, however, NO one is helping me pay for my ABSN+MSN program. Has anyone every been elected for the program with a high EFC?

How high? I think around 5k is the max.

Depends on when your school invoiced. A lot of schools have already been paid
